Consistent fps drops every few minutes - Fix in a future build.

[indomeus]

Hello,

I am having a problem with the slowing down to a crawl consistently every 5-10 minutes. This then happens for 5-10 seconds and then it runs fine again. This happens both in space or on the map and it makes it impossible to do anything, very annoying when it happens in a dogfight.

I have an AMD 5950x and a 3080, so I doubt it is my rig. I also checked there is no thermal throttling going on. The game is unmodded and I am around 5days played, but it started happen after only 2-3 days played.

I am at work at the moment but I can supply a save game later tonight.

Kind Regards

Please do provide that savegame, ideally made during one of the slowdowns.

Might you have any background application running that 'phones home' on the internet every so often (eg checks for new messages or updates, etc)?

Hello,

I got it to happen excacly 5 minutes after I started playing, and I got it saved in the following save. When I restart from the save it instantly stutters

Hello,

I wonder if it has something to do with my station.

Today I added another 100 modules to the station (planned) and when teleporting to another system (neither from and to the system the station is in) I instantly got a CTD without any crash dump.

Kind Regards

A savegame for just before that, with instructions on how to reproduce the crash, would also be good.

Another frequent regular stutter issue reported before was when the player had masses of assigned station miners and they were all checking for new orders at exactly the same time.

[indomeus]

I tried to reproduce the crash but it doesn't happen anymore. I now have finished the plan for the station around 800 modules.

The stutters still happen tho, I have around 40 station miners, so maybe that could be it.

I just would like to rule out it is not my system, every time it happens I have 4 of my cores going to 4800 Mhz.

I've taken a look to see if it's the same issue as you suggested in this report and it does seem so.

Just like that other report, a Xenon I is involved and a battle has wandered off below the sector. In your case, it's around 2500km from the centre of the sector. Having this battle resolve should fix it. I've just given it a test and it doesn't take too long to get there. I've attached a screenshot of where the ships are positioned. Start near the Refined Goods Complex and fly down until you are around 2450km from that station, using the map to make sure you're not wandering too much. You should spot them fighting. I of course suggest going after the Xenon. Perhaps dropping a satellite so you see the ships and sending a remote fleet to help is an option.

Thank You,

Awesome support

You guys are the best

Hello,

I spend the last 4h looking for it in my current save; about a 10 days older the the previous one but can't find the I

Is there some sort of way to locate the Xenon I that is causing the issue with a mod?

I added my latest savegame where I am in Silent Witnesss looking for it

Thank you in advance

You're about 1000km away but heading in the right direction. I've attached some screenshots that should help you orientate your ship and keep on going. I've cheated a bit and targetted that I in the last screenshot so you have an idea which stars to head towards. Good hunting.

[indomeus]

Thank you,

I was able to find the Xenon I and after killing it, it seems the freezes are gone.

It also gave me a nice goal now, I will purge al xenon, and their creators the terrans from the universe at some point.
